He is "growing"

Do you like to eat trash or do you like to eat food?

I like to eat food!

The vacuum cleaner likes to eat trash!

Yes, of course, except it doesn’t really eat it… it pretends to eat. You see, it’s an object!

Vacuum is an object?

Yeah, because the vacuum eats the trash but it doesn't grow! When people eat food, they grow! When you were born you were so small, but look how you have grown! You are a big boy!

Yeah. It doesn’t grow so it’s an object!

That’s right Aditya! Objects don’t grow, people and animals grow!
(At this point I am pleased I actually found a good way of explaining how to tell objects from living beings.)

And the grass grows too….
